Direct‐acting antiviral sustained virologic response: Impact on mortality in patients without advanced liver disease
Lisa I. Backus, Pamela S. Belperio, Troy A. Shahoumian, Larry A. Mole – 29 January 2018 – The impact of sustained virologic response (SVR) on mortality after direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) treatment is not well documented in patients without advanced liver disease and affects access to treatment. This study evaluated the impact of SVR achieved with interferon‐free DAA treatment on all‐cause mortality in hepatitis C virus–infected patients without advanced liver disease.

Lang, Bernhard B. Singer, Marcus Altfeld, Linda Diehl, Gisa Tiegs – 29 January 2018 – A dysbalance between effector T cells (Tconv) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) and impaired Treg function can cause autoimmune liver disease. Therefore, it is important to identify molecular mechanisms that control Treg homeostasis.
